Zylon Defenders

Fun game. Brings back memories of Atari 5200 Star Raiders. However it lacks one thing. A dedicated button to fire your torpedoes.

Brings back memories

This brings back great memories of my old Atari 800 days. It does have some glitches though. I’ve found the play to be okay, until I get to only having 2 sectors left to clear, enter a sector and while working on clearing out enemy ships, it suddenly locks up and eventually says ‘restart’ , but pressing restart does nothing. This has happened 3 times now… keeping me from finishing a game.
Seems it needs some work yet.
Thanks!
